Not incorrect on the GEN V and GEN VI that I was refering to, but you are right I did not metion the MK IV block, Sorry about that, I should have included The MK IV block as well, you are correct about that one also, my brand new DART block has blind holes no worries there.

without getting into a pissing contest, which would be silly, I figure a picture is worth a thousand words, I went into the garage and took a picture of my latest GEN VI engine, all head bolts go right through. I've had every big block made MK IV 454, MK IV Bowtie, GEN V, GEN VI and Just bought a DART, now I can't say anything for the 502 block because I haven't seen one of them yet, that one could very well be blind head bolt holes. Maybe thats the one you have been seeing.

I'd still be very cautious with any used saltwater block, and unless a valid sonic test was performed, I wouldnt bother with it.
